Dtection's installations at UCSD are protectiong some of the most important laboratories in the University system. After the successful performance of Dtection installations at various UCSD locations and its impressive performance during routine test procedures, Dr. Vecchio said that he could now sleep well at night because the Dtection system gives him a certain piece of mind pertaining to his invaluable research equipment. .

Response was so immediate that although Dtection had notified SRD that this was a test, the FM Team members were already responding.

STATISTICS REVEAL THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER DETECTION

Recent statistics reported by the Environmental Protection Agency and studies performed by the insurance industry indicate that water represents a very costly threat to homeowners.

• One drip per minute will result in the loss of 7 gallons of water per month resulting in significant water and mold damage.
• In 2003, insurers paid over $23 billion dollars to correct accidental water damage. In addition, insurers paid out over $3 billion dollars for mold related damages.
• Many problems start with a slow leak that was undetected for some period of time.
• If wet or damp areas are not dried within 24 to 48 hours after a leak occurs, mold will grow.

According to the “Wall Street Journal”, water damage is the second highest claim against insurance companies next to weather-related floods. Although the sudden disaster resulting from a water fixture failure (air conditioners, toilets, refrigerators, water heaters, etc.) is the most recognized type of problem, the little leak can be equally disastrous. When slow leaks are finally detected, mold is usually present. And mold remediation is very expensive.

Immediate response to the presence of unwanted water, whether from a major or silent problem, is essential in order to avoid costly damage.
